Dag Rosenqvist & Simon Scott - Conformists (Vinyl LP)

That's a right combo! Scott and TX on one record. Yikes! The story goes that Dag was asked to score a film about how group mentality rules our behavior as humans for a film by a Juriaan Booij. Dag said 'wayayeman, I'll 'ave a goo pet' and he asked his drone buddy Simon Scott to aid and abet him through the process. Thus the album was recorded and here it is on spanky white vinyl courtesy of Gareth Hardwick's Low Point imprint. It's drone but not as we know it captain. Well it is actually, it's the usual melding of warm sounding textures, drones, rumbling, crackles and pops which you'd normally expect. It's high quality though which you'd expect from these 2 guys who are granddaddies of the drone scene. On 2nd listen it's making a lot more sense though I suspect as with most scores it would make a lot more sense with the visuals. It's quite a dark listen and at moments the whole thing could bring you to tears as it's an emotive listen from start to end. Intense and powerful stuff!!
